Well replaced would be a strong word I think, since it would imply a successful substitution that is sustainable far into the future. I suspect that is not the case. I dunno I'm probably just quibbling.

it also really helps give you a basic feel for when numbers are off in a more general sense - like, if you're shopping and something is scanned twice you're more likely to catch on to something being off if you're reasonably accustomed to dealing with numbers than if you're not

Feels like Bancorp taking on a lot of toxic assets could spread quickly. They're the backing bank for a ton of online-only ramshackle products.

WOTC terrorized a youtuber with the loving Pinkertons after he was mistakenly sent a box of unreleased cards. https://twitter.com/Polygon/status/1650554910251921426?s=20 quote:The presenter at oldschoolmtg described agents as “big heavy-hitter guys” who frightened his wife. The Pinkertons arrived with contact information for someone at Wizards of the Coast and, after speaking with them, the presenter said they made the decision to pull their original videos down.

Akratic Method posted:it’s idiocracy, except instead of that movie’s weird eugenics backstory, it’s just the atomizing forces of capitalism alienating us from everything bit by bit until even understanding it is impossible, let alone caring. i was gunna yell at you for bringing up iodiocracy but it's actually a pretty godo analogy

strange feelings re Daisy posted:WOTC terrorized a youtuber with the loving Pinkertons after he was mistakenly sent a box of unreleased cards. So what's the actual legal basis for demanding the return of the cards if they aren't stolen goods? For that matter, what's the basis of pulling down content featuring them made by creators who weren't part of any official review embargo?

it’s not the math itself it’s the question of does the math actually relate to and describe reality. does the math as used have substance?

If I had bothered to learn arithmetic in elementary school then I would've done better in middle school shop class and who knows maybe I would have ended up in the skilled trades 10 years earlier.

The only time I've ever seen a part of a Kardashians show, Kim was talking about hiring someone to hack the voicemail of a person she didn't like, and I was thinking, didn't that bring down a British newspaper? How is that not illegal? And she was openly discussing it. I think about that from time to time.

I remember someone posting in here about slowly changing your social media posts/pictures into someone else and it will eventually get flagged and discarded. Doubt it's true. I regret posting on social media.

"making my wife cry first thing in the morning by sending these heavy-duty lawmen [to] come collect stuff and talk about stolen products and jail time," I guess the correct move would be to not open the door and call the real cops? I can't imagine cops would be happy about security guards pretending to be cops.
